Asked often. Answered straight.

You learn to direct AI — ten skills, from your first prompt to a connected platform — and you keep a verifiable record of how you actually worked. We don't sell the lessons; the record is the thing worth having.

Really free. The whole journey (Stops 1–7), the coach, daily drills, your record, and the pantry — our full asset library — cost nothing, forever — up to 3 fresh modules a day — each opens as you finish the one before, and they don’t pile up — with practice and retakes unlimited, plus 10 asset generations a month. No trial, no timer, no card. You pay $6/mo only for speed: your own pace and more generations, and $20/mo (18+) for Founder, which unlocks Stop 8's real integrations.

The house asset library — sprites, sounds, art and templates, included free. No lesson ever requires a paid generation: every Stop from 1 to 7 is completable with the pantry alone.

A course teaches, then you forget. Makery has you make real things and keeps the record of how you did it. We're not selling knowledge — we're building the proof that you can direct AI well.

No. You describe what you want in plain language and shape what comes back until it's right. Later you move into real projects one patch at a time — still directed, never hand-coded from scratch.

No. The models run inside Makery — you never pick one, paste a key, or pay a provider. Bring-your-own-key exists only as an optional Founder convenience, proxied through our safety layer.

Real things, not exercises — games, tools, agents and platforms across eight Stops, ending in something real people use and, at Stop 8, a system connected to real infrastructure. You leave with a body of work, not a certificate of attendance.

Directing AI is the skill we teach and measure. Assessment looks at the quality of your direction and your process — turns, rejections with reasons, changes made from real feedback — never whether AI was used.

Your portfolio shows employers exactly how you direct AI — the process behind the work, which can't be faked. We never promise a job, and we never will. We make the record that speaks for you. The employer index is for subscribers — 18+, opt-in, and ranked only by evidence.

The Founder plan ($20/mo), being 18+, and a shipped Stop 7. Founder unlocks the tools — Supabase, n8n, Vercel, MCP — but the Systems Founder certificate still requires a connected system a real person uses. It cannot be bought.

Adults launch first. For 13–17 it's parent-gated, cohort-scoped, with no DMs, no public showcase for minors, and no ads. Safety was designed in from the start, not bolted on.

You do. Every build is yours to export, share, or take with you — anytime. Cancelling loses you nothing you made.
